Photographer Unknown, (Looking Afar)

Ultimately — or at the limit — in order to see a photograph well, it is best to look away or close your eyes. ‘The necessary condition for an image is sight’,  Janouch told Kafka; and Kafka smiled and replied ‘We photograph things in order to drive them out of our minds. My stories are a way of shutting my eyes.’

― Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography

https://www.instagram.com/wolvesofgray This blog is a refugee and a survivor of the Great Tumblr Inquisition of December 17th, 2018. I am gay artist, who received training at the Rhode Island School of Design, and now, a retired high-end fine art framer living in Maryland, USA. My interests and studies in life run a wide gamut from art to history and from the scientific to the esoteric. I have been building this blog of images and texts for the last eight years. My wish is that my posts pique the interest of viewers and encourage them to experience more.
